Course Information
SCC has its own Yoga Therapeutics manual, written by Yoga Program Director and Director for Yoga Teacher Training, Carlyn Sikes. This manual is used in addition to other texts. There are two different course prefixes PED280 and PED282 for Yoga Therapy. However, there are three areas of emphasis. The emphasis for each semester is one of the following areas: shoulders, knees, or low back. Therefore, either PED280 or PED282 will need to be taken twice in order for the student to cover all three therapeutic areas. If you are interested in SCC's 500 hour Yoga Alliance Approved training then you will need to take all three areas of focus in order to qualify for the Yoga Alliance 500 hr. Certificate. In addition Yoga Alliance requires 100 hours of teaching yoga to qualify for the 500 hr. level membership.
